> Like Beardy, it wasn't at all obvious to me that this was supposed to be funny. If memory serves, Shar has posted several similar disclaimers, and I haven't been able to tell whether she was poking fun at those who have expressed confusion in the past about what is and what is not appropriate speech,
.....the disclaimer was serious in that I meant what I said. It might be considered somewhat humorous because it was slightly exaggerated in depth and breadth. It would be very unlike me, in my own humble opinion, to poke fun at people because they expressed confusion.
> or whether she thinks that the pattern of Bob's monitoring decisions really have brought her to a place where she feels she needs to post these disclaimers to avoid his sanctions.

> Mair......posting that disclaimer served the purpose of notifying another poster that I was not aiming at him/her in my response, and let other readers know that this was just my own opinion I was expressing and that I was not trying to present all points of view, only my own subjective one. A disclaimer from me is generally an attempt to head off misunderstandings and clarify the intent of my post.
My sense of humor is so dry it is, at times, nearly undetectable.
